Slide guitar allows us to play the guitar in a uniquely expressive way.
The tones you can create, and the emotion you can wring out of a guitar with a slide are out of this world.
However it presents even experienced “conventional” guitar players with a set of unique challenges.
With the slide on one finger, suddenly you’ve become a One Finger Guitarist!
Not only that, but it’s as if someone has removed all your frets... Suddenly we have to learn how to play in tune, as if we were playing violin.
And as if this weren't enough, in different tunings you're back to the beginning with your knowledge of the fretboard.
I’m not saying any of this to put you off, but rather to prepare you for the exciting journey ahead.
The good news is that I've been there, and I can help. Not only am I extremely passionate about slide guitar, but I'm an experienced educator with 25+ years of teaching guitar behind me.
I know what you need to do, and I can explain it simply and concisely.
If you’re wondering where to start, you can check out some of my teaching on the One Finger Guitarist YouTube channel.
Then, when you’re ready to take things a bit more seriously, check out the slide guitar courses and one-to-one lessons.
It’s going to be a wild ride, so strap yourself in tight, and get ready to take your guitar playing into a whole different dimension!
“Accessible, inspiring, challenging and boundary-pushing… not everyone that sounds great are inspiring teachers. Dylan is.”

“Dylan Kay is a badass slide player and anyone who’s interested in slide guitar would greatly benefit by taking lessons from him.”
